Whether or not they actually do anything isn't why this has such a huge impact. The immense media coverage and the fact that voters are reminded of recklessness will make many have a second thoughts. There's still a lot more voting to do, and this could have unsure impacts on her election.

I haven't looked throughly into neither one's plan, but Trump is the first candidate hat I've seen who actively uses his own Twitter (yea i know most are done by his team) but he does post there, a Lot. He's a media whore. And through good or bad, He is they guy who will send a Tweet to the American people at 3 AM.

He is the first President who speaks from the gut and even if I have some doubts, if ANY potential president Will in fact challenge the establishment its him.

Catherine Herridge, chief intelligence correspondent for Fox News, suggests the FBI would not reopen such a case unless there was sufficient evidence that the new information was of quality and had direct relevance to the investigation in question.

In other words she's saying Comey is beating around the bush at saying whatever they found on Anthony Weiner's device has direct relevance to the HRC email investigation, and is likely not something that could easily be dismissed.

This could in fact get quite big. There have been strong indications that a lot of career FBI agents were unhappy with the whitewash investigation conducted. They will be more than happy to work overtime to come up with something.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI was using the Weiner investigation as an excuse to try and check Abedin's emails. It's not unheard of for something like that to happen.

I just hope that they don't repeat what they did with the Benghazi attack hearings, where they re-opened it like 8 times, with the last time finding absolutely nothing new and wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to let us, the people, know that absolutely nothing new was found.

Either way though, would rather vote her in, and have her subsequently impeached then have Trump. I will NEVER vote a billionaire, a symbol of why America's economy collapsed in 2007 and probably again in the near future, into office. Especially one who continuously opts out of taking any steps to ensure that they will avoid conflicts of interest.

On other thread an hour ago by me:

I have a feeling someone will make a new thread about this claiming that they are reopening it.

So I make that about 20 years that Hilary has been "investigated" in some way. That a hell of alot of money spent by the FBI for that long and she has gone completely unscathed. Either she is:
A: Luckiest woman on Earth
B: Greatest supervillian since Plankton from Sponge-bob
C: Innocent

Either way, that would make a perfect President for you Americans.

Notices how pretty ironic it is that Trump fans complain about media not reporting truth whilst they now believe ad spread things that aren't true. This will all pass over by next week.

Nope, because once news bosses realises there is no story left, they'll stop reporting it, leading to the continuous "media covering up".

Little do they realize people are slowly starting to get sick of these eye-catching, overdone headlines similar to this one and emails leaked by someone who clearly wants 1 candidate to win. Are the media forced to talk about the same boring, repetitive topic for so many weeks when they all turn out to have the same, non-existent result?

Of course that's only if they're impeached and then removed from office. Bill Clinton was impeached, but he remained in office.

1) Won't get impeached, can only be impeached for a crime committed in office. Although given her track record, I wouldn't find it at all surprising if she was impeached for lying like Bill was.

2) This investigation is ultimately bipartisan bull shit, they have been re-opening benghazi for years, wasting millions upon millions of the taxpayers money to come to the same conclusion over and over again - often times failing to even discover any new or relevant information.

3) Yes it moves on to the Vice president - https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Presidential_line_of_succession

4) Everyone will ultimately support the TPP, since it is in congress' hands for the most part. Not too mention that the two choices are a billionaire who directly benefits from the passage of free trade agreements, and a woman who sells herself to said billionaires, i.e. indirectly benefits from the passage of such agreements.

I highly doubt this'll change anything. Not like Clinton's emails being shady is anything new. If she's still in the lead by now, I don't see why she'd fall behind just because of this

Unless something insane gets discovered within said emails that is but I wouldn't count on it leading anywhere

That is because he was only impeached by the House, the senate did not share said opinion and was thus acquitted. In order to be removed from office after an impeachment, one must be convicted by house and senate (by I believe 2/3 vote). Impeached just refers to being charged with a crime, one must then be convicted in order to be removed from office.

Her numbers keep dropping, and it's been proven that many of the mainstream polls are oversampling democrats and minorities. On top of that, we still have the biggest scandals yet to come from Wikileaks and O'Keefe.

What this investigation results in is currently irrelevant. How Donald Trump uses it to his advantage for the next 10 days is why it should matter to Hillary. He needs to literally make this his main message up through November 8th. His claims of rigging and corruption won't sound so baseless when he drives home the point that his opponent is the embodiment of both. As Ben Shapiro jokingly put it, "James Comey" or "FBI Investigation" need to be his answer to everything from now on.

"Mr. Trump, 20 women and a horse have stepped forward and accused you of rape. Your response?"
"James Comey."
"By god he's right!"

Also lol @ how the same leftists who said that James Comey was the ideal man to investigate Hillary are now calling him a Republican sellout because it's no longer serving their special interest. I would caution those who think he's redeemed himself, however, as it's more than likely he did this now rather than later so that the FBI isn't accused of partisanship.

One last thing that's particularly telling (and pathetic) is how Attorney General Loretta Lynch is pleading the fifth over the $1.7b ransom payment to Iran. This is the same woman who met with Bill Clinton in secret on the tarmac for 30 minutes. What a pitiful sight when the office that's supposed to represent justice is occupied by someone who's averting it.

If anything, ^^ has been a bad move. The fact that they've deiced to release these over such a long period of time in so many parts means that it's become boring and repetitive. People are caring less and less and the releases are only giving more conviction to people who already die-heart support Trump.
If they were smart they would have released ONLY once or twice around last week with the most damaging leaks.

The overwhelming majority of the polls show Hillary winning.....Even FOX NEWS!

Is Fox News also oversampling Democrats?

Are ALL polls biased? No.

BTW....here are the polls just in case you are interested:

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/national-polls/

And just so you know....the polls don't even mean anything.

Because as we all (Should) know....you do NOT win the presidency on popular vote, but rather by the electoral college.

And guess what?

Hillary is winning the key battleground states of Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Let me further explain to you how DIFFICULT it would be for Trump to win at this point.

IF Hillary LOSES Florida, North Carolina, AND Wisconsin...

She would STILL win the Presidency.....but currently the polls are showing she's WINNING all those states.

That's how big her lead is.

They might be, I'd like a source on that.

Regardless, they weight Republican and Democrat numbers differently. Even if they don't oversample, which many of them do, they base the final numbers on the turnout of voters from the last election. This is very unfair as Hillary is nowhere near as popular as Obama, and Trump is every bit as popular as Obama and perhaps more (and Romney was always shit, but not as much as Hillary). This results in what they call D+9 or some other number. Essentially if the result is 45D and 47R, they just add whatever number to D (in this case 9), and call that the final result.

The polls that base their numbers on the primary turnout for this election will be much more accurate, and those polls have Trump winning. Republican primary turnout this year was up, while Democrat turnout this year was down. Despite the fanatic Bernie support Democrat turnout was STILL down. This is also in spite of the huge amount of additional support Trump has received after the Primary. We aren't hearing "I supported x Republican candidate but I can't support Trump", at least nowhere near as much as we hear "I supported Bernie but I can't support Hillary", which is fairly enlightening to say the least.

All these numbers are also different based on whether or not we include Jill Stein and Gary Johnson in it all, in which case most often Hillary suffers most due to their inclusion.

In all honesty, you Hillary supporters shouldn't be worrying about the swing states right now, but should be worrying about losing some of your Blue states.

There are more registered Democrats than Republicans in the US. So complaining about polls oversampling them is kinda dumb.

We have that "fact", but we don't know the details do we? I'd be interested in a breakdown. How many of those additional democrats are in only one state? For example, if 90% of California is Democrat, then that's going to make that statistic true every year, but is it really going to matter in the end if every other state is basically even? We shouldn't be oversampling for every single state even if the overall number is true, it should be specific to each state, and if we really wanted to be accurate to each county though that would take far too much time.

Also independents are favoring Trump by a fairly large margin. I like to think that as representative of everyone, as that number probably isn't weighted in any such direction. Although the latest poll I could find on this was a Fox News poll, he was still closing in on her in all the other independent polls in September, so if they all polled again they'd likely have a similar result to the Fox News poll.


"Now" is October 26 (or the poll says 22-25). Considering yesterday's bombshell, who knows how many just went Trump, and who knows how many will go Trump in this last 10 days.

At the same time, there are more registered Democrats that consistently vote Republican than vice versa, and more registered independents that lean heavily Republican.

You're only president for 4 years. Neither Hillary or Trump is going to bring forth the apocalypse during that time. The USA has a congress and checks and balances to ensure that.

What I don't see being mentioned is the true power play that's going down. The supreme court. Those people serve for decades. That's what should be influencing your vote this coming november... If of course you do vote.

As for the Hillary Clinton email fiasco.. I don't understand how potential voters can overlook the blatant corruption there. She had a server in her basement and is being investigated again by the FBI. How many red flags do you need? She shouldn't even be eligible. But I still believe she's gonna walk away free.
